“From working with Andrew and seeing his work, I can say that he has a deep love for the craft of acting, and he is extremely skilled at transmitting his formidable understanding to actors in ways that empower and inspire actors to do their best work.” [Photo by Tomdog CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons]

Satisfied Students

“Andrew’s class is what most Los Angeles Acting classes are not: Technique based rather than self-indulgent emotion based. He teaches actors to take the focus off themselves and onto the other person…to get the other person to feel something. The actor becomes active, and immediately captivating.”
